- Don’t support battery chicken farming, buy free range. If it does not say free range it’s been de-beaked, de-toed and gone through various forms of cruelty and mutilation. Do you really want to eat that? If you think its too expensive google “the true cost of cheap chicken/meat”.Go to www.biophile.co.za, www.animal-voice.org or similar websites for further information.
- Limit your fast food consumption. Fast food is energy consuming food. Avoid Kentucky and Mac Donald’s. Why? Go to www.peta.org or www.kentuckyfriedcruelty.com .
- Avoid tuck lunches. Processed food causes obesity and diabetes.
- Avoid purchasing products with GMO’s (genetically modified organisms). Go to www.safeage.org or similar websites for more information. Genetic engineering has an effect on animal welfare, the environment and your health.
- Purchase milk products that are free from RBST growth hormones. Go to www.earthmother.co.za or similar websites for more information.
- Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Recycled plastic uses 88% less energy. Contact Rob or simon@ecomonkey.co.za . Recycle and save the planet for YOUR children.
- Reduce your meat intake. Eating less meat frees up the environment. Livestockherds account for 15 % of all greenhouse gases, including approximately 25 % of emissions of methane.
